Cagey first half but very good performances in the second. Happy for Martial and Mkhi and the kids. Basti MOM.

I've missed trouncing Wigan at home. Feels like it's 2011 again.

Very good second half turned it in to a professional performance, this is how you beat minnows in cup matches. Had a bad feeling about this one before the match but it seems that we are a different animal now, we get the job done.

Nice to see not one but two debuts. First half was poor but better performances all round in the second. Martial great once moved onto the left.

Schweinsteiger should definitely be an option for Premier League matches.

Martial deserves to play in the next match.

Easy win for us and we got better as the game got on. Good to see us finally scoring more goals albeit it is against wigan.

I really hope we replicate the same against hull. You just know they are coming to defend in the same way wigan have today.

Its about time we smashed some team in the prem like we deserve to.

Happy with that, Schwein was motm for me he started badly but picked it up and dominated it all day, brilliant assist and goal. Rooney wasnt great and martial did well 2 assists.

Brilliant day! Easy win/good result, rested key players and a fine performance from Martial + 90 minutes for Shaw. Oh, and two youth debuts :D

Shit first half until the goal, but very good second half. 4-0 over Wigan is exactly as it should be. 3-0 and 4-0 were nice goals. :cool:

* Win

* Pogba, Zlatan, Valencia rested

* Lincoln or Sutton next round thanks. At home so they get a lot of money.

Nice to see us break them down and then break the game open. Took awhile to get started, but once we did it was great to watch.

Now let's see those rested starters show up for the PL and put this kinda performance on Hull.

Tale of two halves. First half garbage, second half strong.

Glad that Mkhi finally found his shooting boots after a few bad misses.

Onwards and upwards.

The Fellaini goal just before HT was crucial. We were quite mediocre till then but goal helped team to settle in 2nd half and play game at own pace. Basti unsurprisingly struggled early on due to lack of minutes but showed his class later. Really happy for him and nice to see him smiling. Good performance from Martial too.

The first half was gash, however the players turned up in the second half to display a good, professional performance. We won the match comfortably, we are still in all cup competitions and still have a very good chance to finish in the top 4. I am relatively happy! :)

We need a gif of the backheel interplay between Mata and Mhiki. From memory it was shortly after the 3rd goal.

First 30 mins was poor from what I saw. Better 2nd half.
